1/2 mile up the road to Old Dominion Mine, I start looking for a good campsite near another road that I also can't locate

I find a fairly smooth spot in this rocky area and start setting up camp. I go for a short walk to make sure I'm not camping in the road that I can't see, but which is probably right here somewhere, according to the USGS quad overlay on my Delorme GPS.

It will be interesting to see tomorrow, in daylight, where I am.
